Heathy Aging Made Easy

I am as guilty as the next person when being influenced about healthy aging ideas.  The internet is over-run with promises of feeling twenty years younger, looking twenty years younger and curing most illnesses.  What is going to make you healthy again, look wonderful and be able to do 50 sit ups? Probably no one thing.

Thousands of dollars are spent on aging solutions.  These solutions include supplements, specific foods, exercises, and even your thoughts.  I do believe we can feel better every day with small steps. I was overwhelmed  with the amount of books, while researching my book, about all the solutions to being fit and healthy.   There are also many creams, lotions and facial fillers that will take years off of your appearance.  If any of these healthy solutions really worked they would all be sold out in one day.

I have been involved in researching methods and ideas for many years to stay healthy for while aging and found there is no magic bullet.  There are many ways to support healthy aging that do help you feel better and even look better.  Every time I see a new magic way to stay healthy I research it thoroughly.  Though many of these solutions to stay young and healthy are not harmful they rarely do much good.  I do believe that people feel they are bullet proof from aging and disease.  If you have checked lately at least one in every 4 or 5 people are in the obese range and also take prescriptions.  Taking small steps by eating healthier, adding some exercise to your day and enjoying life are what it is all about.  Remember habits come and go with great challenge.  And a splurge once in a while is fine. Once again there is no magic bullet to feeling young and healthy.

Here are just a few ideas that could possible slow down some of the conditions that are associated with aging.
1. Keep moving.  You don't have to run marathons or work out frantically in the gym.  After you are sitting for a while or at the computer get up and move around.  I often take cleaning breaks.  I will get up and mop the floors, vacuum, do the bathrooms etc.
2. Keep healthy food selections in your house.  The temptation is not in front of you.
3. Always have something in life you are looking forward to doing.
